What is Nelsonville From A to Z?

Nelsonville from A to Z will be an alphabetized picture book in which each letter will represent a place in and around Nelsonville, Ohio. Each page will feature the following:

A letter from the alphabet

The name of the place the letter represents

A brief description of the place

An original watercolor illustration done by local artist, Hannah Sickles

What Are the Guidelines to Submit a Poem?

If you're interested in submitting a poem, you must adhere to several guidelines. Those guidelines are the following:

The poem should be related to one of the places named in the alphabet book. It's not required that the poem describe the place itself; however, it can. The poem can also deal with your feelings about the place, the history of the place, how area residents react to the place, and so on.
